Ghazal

Kumag picked me up from work at 8am. Then off we went to Manila for Ghazal. The place was kind of hard to locate since the address that we have was just Mabini St , cor. Ermita. After 20 minutes of walking around Mabini and asking a few people on the street we were finally able to spot the place.

It looks a bit like a money changer says kumag,  I agree.  We got there around 930am, and Ate was wiping the tables, she said that they are open at 12nn. So we decided to watch Transformers 3 dark of the Moon in Robinson’s Ermita.  The movie was good. The kind that will make you ignore the special effects.  

After that  we went to Ghazal. We decided to order the same type that we’ve had since day 1 of this Middle Eastern Food tour, just so we can rate them fairly.

Cholo Kabab kubideh with yellow rice upgrade = P210

Wait time was around 20 minutes. So while waiting I took pics.

it takes 2-3 oranges to make a tumbler of juice for p100

The place was air conditioned, no interior decoration whatsoever. But it looks clean, smells clean too.

There’s a middle eastern guy who brought 2 big bags of pita bread. Kumag and I thinks that he makes their pita bread, so therefore its  authentic :-) .

Then they served the food. We were quite surprised by the quantity, all smiles we were when it was laid on the table. Diet is suspended for the day, since it's serving is fit for a construction worker.  First bite was a delight.  It was tasty, but kumag was missing the butter and onion that comes with this dish. I missed the dip/sauce the white thingy that usually comes with it on other food joints. It was a bit dry as compared to others that we’ve tried, but flavor was enhanced by the calamansi and hot sauce. 

That being said, we both agreed that it was close to the chelo kebab that we’ve had in E. Rodriguez.   We will eat here again whenever we are in the vicinity.

rating. 3.5!
